best weekend like, evar.

Friday, the husband picked up two pizzas so I wouldn't have to cook. Well, I mean, I asked him to pick up the pizzas...and he did it... and I didn't have to cook. Yeah, folks. That's a highlight.

Saturday, Valentines Day was just like any other day. Husband had to work and then the in-laws assuuuuuumed we didn't already have plans for Valentines Day evening and invited us for dinner...

Sigh. They were right. We didn't have plans because all our spare money was going towards this:

BEHOLD!!!

We got together with some friends and pooled our money together for the "Sweetheart Special". The special was offered at a local crawfish shack for Valentines Day weekend and it included crawfish, shrimp, boudin, sausage, corn, potatoes and mushrooms. I'm not sure how many specials we got but it was about 14lbs of crawfish, 4lbs of enormous shrimps and all that other good stuff.

I ate my weight in goodies. I could have gone all nigh devouring those little red bugs but we ran out. Sad face!

Daddy caught off guard.

The hostess of the gathering was nice enough to make River a nice plate of yummies since most of the food was way too spicy for little mouths.

Since I didn't wear anything you guys haven't seen before, I didn't bother getting outfit pics... so here's what Cedar wore instead. Sunday morning for church, she wore this vintage hand-sewn cotton dress for the first time. I bought it from Goodwill for $2 and it was supposed to be her first faire costume but she's growing so fast there's no way she's going to be able to wear it at the next faire we go to.

Cedar is such a cute little bun! And River has the right idea, sitting in a big boy chair with the plate at mouth level. Sheesh they grow fast. Now I want to feast, FEAST. How can you even talk at the table when you have so much yummy food in front of you? This would not be an assortment of food you would find in a special deal around here, which is a huge shame.

Cedar's dress is beautiful, as is she. I love her cute little chin dimple. Oh, um, and the food. My goodness, what a special dinner. I've never had crawfish but they look like little lobsters and big shrimps, both which I love. So I'm pretty sure I'd be a happy eater at that get together, along with you!

Cedar's dress is astoundingly lovely, mind you, anything you dressed her in would be, she's so gorgeous!I like the idea of pooling your resources and spending cash on dinner with friends. How sweet that River got his own dinner, too. xxx

Excellent idea, look at that feast. Cedar is growing so much and is the prettiest baby girl, the dress though! gorgeous! love the headband too - yep, broken plates, to this day I have no matching crockery x x x
